I've owned classic cars, but they have all been drivers, never parked for any length of time. It's just about time in my part of the world to park my Cavalier until next spring.

What are your best storage tips? (I have unheated storage, and it will likely be 5-6 months.)

My TO-DO list & questions:
-Breathable cover.
-Fresh oil change.
-Full tank of premium fuel with fuel stabilizer.
-Rodent control. (What does everyone do? We live in grain country, so there are mice.)
-Disconnect battery and keep in my garage, or use trickle charger?
-Make sure exhaust is dry before parking.
-Tires/suspension? Put the car on jacks?

Look forward to any advice you have to share.


Your list is pretty much complete. What about coolant antifreeze? And bird droppings should also be removed. A vehicle wash is recommended anyway. Dirt can act like emery under a tarp.
